STUDIO ACCESS

If you have any ceramics projects you’d like to work on and you need access to the right equipment and materials, our studio access sessions could be perfect for you!

These friendly group sessions allow you to use our large, bright space and range of resources while working at your own pace.

Classes take place on Mondays (predominantly for handbuilding) and Tuesdays.

Who it’s for

You can book studio access sessions with us if you’re confident working on ceramics projects independently, or have completed one of our beginners courses (or similar elsewhere).

If you are new to our studio, we’ll give you a short induction – so you know how to use our equipment safely and understand what we expect from you for safe studio practice. There are always experienced staff on hand to help with specific advice and guidance too!

What’s included

Our studio access sessions last for three hours and cost £20 each.

• Ongoing making and technical support
• Use of our excellent equipment, including eight potter’s wheels, slab roller, wall and handheld extruders
• Access to a range of high quality clays (including stoneware, earthenware, crank, raku and porcelain)
• A well-stocked glaze kitchen with a range of decorating slips, oxides and house glazes
• Kiln space at set firing temperatures
• Small shelf space allocation to store ongoing work

We use a ‘weigh and pay’ system for each item made. This covers clay, decorative slip, our house glazes and both Bisque and Glaze firings. Cost varies depending on clay type, ie stoneware is £9 per kilo (our most popular clay).

Use of your own clays and glazes is only with prior agreement with Kit, as we need to know what is going in our kilns!

Volume of work

While we don’t like to curb anyone’s creative enthusiasm, to make it possible to fire the work for all of our six-courses on time, prolific makers may not necessarily have all their work fired in one batch.

If you have a large amount of work, you also may be asked to pay towards the cost of extra kiln space.
